reviewed Among the Impostors on
Luke Garner, a shadow child, is out of hiding for the first time in his life. Since families are only allowed to have two children, subsequent children must stay hidden from the Population Police and their imminent death sentence.

Luke finds himself in a sort of witness protection program. He is separated from his family when he is given a new identity.

As a shadow child, he was never allowed to go to school. He has never met anyone outside of his immediate family. The second book in the series finds Luke enrolled in a boarding school under his new alias. Instead of going to class, Luke skips school and routinely sneaks outside. Will Luke get caught by the Population Police?

The author keeps you guessing until the very end.
